Maria Kheyman

In her sophomore year, History major Maria Kheyman worked on a research project transcribing a diary left by a reverend in South Carolina, and a paper she wrote for a historiography class was accepted for presentation at a conference at Villanova University. “There I defended my original research on FDR’s pioneering work to create Presidential Libraries,” Maria says. Maria is currently a senior with a 3.69 grade point average. She has worked at Pearson Education since 2010 in the social studies department. “My career goal is to become an editor at Pearson to make textbooks more affordable.”

One of the founding members of the Ramapo College faculty, Dominick Palazzotto served Ramapo in a number of capacities, most notably as director of the School of International Affairs, director of American and International Studies and convener of the History faculty. “Most important,” wrote Sydney Weinberg, a fellow History professor, “Dom was a master teacher who cared deeply about the students he worked with during his many years at Ramapo.” Contributions from Ramapo faculty, staff, alumni and members of Professor Palazzotto’s family created this endowed fund, which honors his memory while recognizing outstanding students in history.
